post number 300!

He looked around at the bars that were trapping him, keeping him in this cage. He was tired of this. He had enough of this already. His captor had treated him well, in fact, very well at times, but at times she was totally annoying and irritating. A bitch, he’d say. But there seemed to be nothing he could do. Or is there?

He closed his eyes, and searched deep within his mind. “I can end this… I’m a wizard warrior.” While the warrior part of him certainly seemed useless at this point, seeing that he has neither his sword nor bow and arrow with him, the wizard part of him should be able to do something. Something that could stop this, end this. Once and for all. He was weak, and the energies that once surged through his body were hardly present. Still he had to try.

He watched as his captor walked into the room, and walked towards him with a bowl of dog food, apparently attempting to annoy him again. He had his dignity, and he’ll not eat dog food. As anger surged through his veins, he rose, a small ball of blue light appearing in his right hand.

“What are you doing?” The captor asked in a startled and alarmed tone, apparently surprised that after all this years, he still had the power to generate that kind of energy. The ball of energy grew larger in his hand as he charged it, and the light from it lit up the room in an eerie blue glow. “I’m breaking out, and making sure that I get away from here. From you.”

With a swing of his arm, he released the energy ball at his captor. She dropped the bowl of dog food and instinctively raised her hands, creating a thin shield of energy. The collision of the ball and the shield created a large energy blast throwing the captor off her feet, as her shield was too weak. She hit the wall and collapsed into a heap, as the bars of the cage were blasted apart. In a split second, the wizard warrior was out of the room, sprinting down the hallway, out the door into the main fortress, and down the spiraling stairway to the courtyard below. He got out the main gate just before it closed, a sign that his captor was back on her feet and chasing him. Now that he was out of the fortress which held him, he let out a loud whistle, summoning his horse to his side. He watched as his horse came galloping out from behind a sand dune some distance away, sprinting towards him. He ran towards his horse, and leaped onto it as it got near. Turning the horse a full 180 degrees around, he rode off into the desert.

He turned his head around and saw His captor standing upon the stone walls of the fortress. She collapsed into a heap once again and started crying. He turned back and rode off into the horizon. He was free, after nearly 2 years. It’s over.
